Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, many SAS customers who've been using our analytics capabilities for years or even decades are asking: What can we do with AI? What exactly is AI from a software perspective? How can we infuse cognitive computing into our customer interactions and on the customer
Die (technologische) Veränderung kommt… und sie kommt schnell. Digitalisierung ist nicht mehr nur „in aller Munde“, sondern inzwischen in den Unternehmen angekommen.

One of the big benefits of SAS Viya is how approachable it is for programmers of other languages. You don't have to learn SAS in order to become productive quickly. We've seen a lot of interest from people who code in Python, maybe because that language has become known for
To demonstrate the power of text mining and the insights it can uncover, I used SAS Text Mining technologies to extract the underlying key topics of the children's classic Alice in Wonderland. I want to show you what Alice in Wonderland can tell us about both human intelligence and artificial
Big Data y la economía digital son transversales a prácticamente cualquier actividad en la vida, desde una acción profesional que involucre un equipo de trabajo hasta ámbitos de la vida privada como el estado de salud, los movimientos financieros y las relaciones de pareja. No existen límites para la constante
Following the UK General Election result where no political party secured a clear majority ahead of the Brexit negotiations, it’s fair to say there’s lots of uncertainty facing the UK government right now. This, and the more outward looking post-Brexit era we're facing, are just two reasons why I believe
Innovation used to happen in structured cycles. The new invention was often a planned event and the domain of a select few departments within an organisation. But in today's always-on economy enterprises need to innovate on a continuous basis to keep up with new players that base their entire businesses
La digital transformation spazza come un vento tutti i settori industriali e promette di essere un motore per la competitività, la produttività e l’occupazione.

Thanks to 100 dedicated volunteers who spent their entire weekend digging into data at North Carolina’s first-ever DataDive: The Anti-Defamation League was able to cite the new approaches it was taking to analyzing hate crime data when its CEO testified before the US Senate in early May. Counter Tools, a
Ensemble methods are commonly used to boost predictive accuracy by combining the predictions of multiple machine learning models. The traditional wisdom has been to combine so-called “weak” learners. However, a more modern approach is to create an ensemble of a well-chosen collection of strong yet diverse models. Building powerful ensemble models
Are you caught up in the machine learning forecasting frenzy? Is it reality or more hype? There's been a lot of hype about using machine learning for forecasting. And rightfully so, given the advancements in data collection, storage, and processing along with technology improvements, such as super computers and more powerful
Los gurús del mundo corporativo no dejan de repetir un veredicto: en los mercados digitales de nuestros días, quien analice los datos de su consumidor y de su entorno de negocios estará en posición de alcanzar el éxito. Creer en el planteamiento es fácil. Como lo han señalado algunos estudios,
In the second post of the 10 Commandments of Applied Econometrics series we discussed the issue of embedding statistical tools in the context of business problems. Today, I will present another commandment related to exploration and inspecting the data.
Ein großer Teil unseres Lebens besteht darin, möglichst intelligente Entscheidungen zu treffen. Eine echte Herausforderung angesichts der Fülle an Informationen und Daten, der wir heute ausgesetzt sind. Im Geschäftskontext heißt das: Nur wenn evidenzbasierte Entscheidungsprozesse tief in der Unternehmenskultur (unabhängig von Typ und Menge der Daten) verankert werden, lässt sich
Ich sitze im Büro und fingere durch den Papierberg aus meinem Postfach. Während ich ein Briefchen nach dem anderen ungelesen in den Mülleimer werfe, wundere ich mich, dass es so etwas wie Postfächer in einem Unternehmen, das Analyticssoftware herstellt, überhaupt noch gibt. Warum ist das so, frage ich mich belustigt.
When I first wrote this blog post in early May 2017, it was to ask SAS users holding SAS “Big Data” certifications to participate in the CertMag Salary Survey Plus Big Data Edition. The response was overwhelming and thanks to all of you that participated. Now that the results are in, I wanted
For many years the humble spreadsheet has held many different roles and responsibilities supporting finance, marketing, sales -- pretty much every department in your business. There's always someone with a “magic spreadsheet,” but how effective is this culture that always uses the same format to consume data? My view of
Machine learning seems to be the new hot topic these days. Everybody's talking about how machines are beating human players in chess, Jeopardy, and now even Go. In the future, artificial intelligence will drive our cars and our jobs will be taken over by robots. There’s a lot of hype,

„Wer 100% sicher sein will, ist 100% zu spät.“ Diesen Satz habe ich letztens auf dem IoT Forum in München gehört. Er fasst gut das Gefühl zusammen, dass mich in der deutschsprachigen Industrie 4.0 Debatte beschleicht. Die Buzz-Word-Schlachten der letzten 48 Monate haben ihre Wirkung nicht verfehlt: Kaum ein Strategiepapier
In addition to his day job as Chief Technology Officer at SAS, Oliver Schabenberger is a committed lifelong learner. During his opening remarks for the SAS Technology Connection at SAS Global Forum 2017, Schabenberger confessed to having a persistent nervous curiosity, and insisted that he’s “learning every day.” And, he
As Tax Week arrives, tax agencies may be overlooking fraud happening under their noses – fraud perpetrated by insider threats. While the agencies are focused on the hot fraud topics of the day – identity verification quizzing, protecting PIN files, and cybersecurity – insider threats pose a particularly insidious risk.

David Loshin explains why MDM is such a valuable tool in helping to detect fraud.
“This conference has been one of my best because I’ve learned about GatherIQ, a social, good cause initiative that’s made me think about the bigger picture, and how I can help people who need help,” said a SAS Global Forum attendee who heard about SAS’ new data-for-good crowdsourcing app at
Two minutes in, I knew the 2017 SAS Global Forum Technology Connection would not be typical or average. For one thing, it was SAS Chief Technology Officer Oliver Schabenberger's show, and nothing he does is ever typical or average. The first surprise of the morning was his entrance. He zoomed onto the stage on a Segway, using slight
Durante el Omnichannel Analytics Forum, Dan Mitchell, Director de la Práctica de Negocio Retail en SAS, compartió con la audiencia cómo la industria minorista se ha consolidado y enfrentado a un ambiente volátil, dando como resultado la búsqueda de nuevas formas de acercamiento con el cliente. “La ejecución omnicanal es
